Introduction.: Cerebral palsy is a group of conditions that affect individuals from birth. It greatly impacts an individual's physical and emotional life and can present many challenges for the individual, caregivers, and family. Therefore, research into interventions that can improve the various symptoms of children with CP is critical. The aim of the study was to compare the effectiveness of NMES and passive stretching and passive stretching alone in the improvement of spastic diplegic cerebral palsy children Methods. :The study was conducted on 20 children with two groups of 10 each. Group A was intervened with NMES and passive stretching whereas Group B was intervened with passive stretching. The outcome is measured by using goniometer prior to the treatment and the end of the treatment. In Group A subjects who received NMES and passive stretching and its overall effectiveness and improvement was found by using goniometer and the result was found by using paired ‘t’ test value is 7.06. Which showed p=0.0001 is highly significant. This means that NMES and passive stretching is effective in overall improvement in ROM. In Group B subjects who received passive stretching alone and its overall effectiveness and improvement was found by using goniometer and the result was found by using paired ‘t’ test value is 7.90. Which showed p=0.0001 is highly significant; this means that passive stretching is effective in overall improvement in ROM. Results. Comparison of group A and group B was done by using independent ‘t’ test value is 1.5 which showed P value 0.0201(<0.05) which is statistically significant. Conclusions. The overall ROM of group A and group B was obtained and that says there is improvement in both groups. When compare the mean ranks we can conclude that group A is better than group B in the improvement of ROM in the treatment of spastic diplegic cerebral palsy children.
